According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), domestic flyers are seldom spending more than ten minutes at checkpoints. That’s a drastic difference from two years ago, when passengers often waited an hour or longer to take off their shoes and squeeze their toiletries into a baggie.  In part, industry experts say we have the recession to thank–fewer people are flying, afterall.   But TSA officials also say that new procedures and technology are making the difference.
